University of Northern British Columbia

University of Northern British Columbia | Prince George, B.C. | Founded 1994

Where else but at the University of Northern British Columbia can you study from a learning centre with a 360-degree panoramic view that stretches all the way to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains? With the wood-and-glass hilltop buildings of the Prince George campus nestled among trees, students may feel as though they’re studying outdoors. In addition, the school’s heating system, which uses biomass from sawmills, earns enviro accolades from afar. Sustainability defines UNBC, and the university is responsive to the region it serves. “Through research and scholarship, UNBC faculty and students are creating innovative approaches to harness the opportunities and resolve the challenges Canada is facing as a northern nation,” says president Daniel Weeks. The community believed its future lay in a world-class campus, so they started to build one. In 1994, Queen Elizabeth II declared the university officially open. To serve the north even better, UNBC expanded with campuses in Terrace, Quesnel, Fort St. John and Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a. And, with a student-faculty ratio of 14 to 1, students at all campuses benefit from a high degree of access to their profs.

• Bachelor of Health Sciences: Approaches learning through a holistic view of health, informed by interactions among researchers, practitioners and community members. Features three majors, which draw on courses from the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities.

Cool Courses
